Freya raised her hand and gently pinched his face, saying, "I don't need his compensation. The person he owes the most is my mother, not me."

During these days of getting along, Freya had also discovered Yelü An's character. He wasn't the kind of irresponsible man.

But the harm had already been done, and her mother was already dead. Bruce and her stepmother had also received their comeuppance. Whether to recognize him as her father or not wasn't that important anymore.

She was living a good life now. She didn't want fatherly love. As long as she had Bradley, that was enough.

Seeing her so determined, Bradley didn't try to persuade her anymore.

The two of them leaned against each other on the bed, and neither of them said a word.

Suddenly, in the silent room, a clear mobile phone ringtone sounded.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw the name "Xu Yan" on Freya's phone.

Freya reached out to answer it, but Bradley grabbed the phone one step ahead. After answering it, he said coldly, "Xu Yan."

Hearing the voice of the jealous man on the other end of the line, Xu Yan was so scared that he shuddered and almost dropped the phone.

"Um, Bradley, I'm looking for Freya."

It took him a lot of courage to say this.

He hadn't forgotten Bradley's warning last time. He originally wanted to give up, but the matter of the prosthetic limb had already been put on the agenda, and he didn't want to give up all his previous efforts. After thinking about it, he felt it was necessary to report the situation to Freya.

It wasn't clear in the email, and it would be better to talk on the phone.

Who would have thought that it was Bradley who answered the phone.

"She's beside me. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Bradley squinted his eyes, and his handsome face was tense.

Although Xu Yan couldn't see his face, he could imagine how gloomy it was.

He took a deep breath and said, "Well, there were some problems during the process of making the prosthetic limb. I've already summarized them and sent an email to Freya. But she hasn't replied. I'm worried that she might have overlooked it, so I'm calling to remind her."

After thinking it over, Xu Yan still decided to keep it brief, lest Bradley fly into a rage and give him a good scolding.

"Okay, Dr. Xu. I'll check it right away." Freya responded.

These days, she had been busy investigating her background and didn't have much time to deal with Xiaolan's affairs. She hadn't even opened the email and had no idea that Xu Yan had sent her an email.

"All right, I'm going to be busy now. Bye."

As if in a hurry to go somewhere urgent, Xu Yan hung up the phone before Freya could respond.

Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Freya looked at Bradley helplessly. "Look at you. You've scared Dr. Xu like that."

Bradley put the phone back on the bedside table, lazily leaning back on the bed with his eyebrows raised. "When did I scare him?"

He just called his name and asked what was the matter. Was there anything wrong with that?

Of course, there was something wrong. With his status and authoritative tone, an ordinary person would have been scared out of their wits long ago.

What's more, Xu Yan had already been warned before.

Freya felt sorry for Xu Yan. He really had a hard time.

"Forget it. I'll check the email." Freya didn't want to argue with him. Anyway, this man was good at playing with words, and she couldn't argue with him.

She opened the email, and there was a document in it.

It neatly summarized all the problem points. Freya read it carefully, then came up with solutions, and sent it back to Xu Yan.

She was so busy that it was already evening. Freya was still concentrating on her work, and Bradley had been left aside for several hours.

At first, he was also dealing with work on his phone. After he finished, Freya was still burying her head in typing on the keyboard. He called her several times, but she didn't hear him.

Feeling annoyed, Bradley lay down and took a nap.

When he woke up, it was already dark, and the little woman was still working.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and said seriously, "Freya, there's always work to be done. Take a break and have a drink of water."

The warm water he had poured for her had already gone cold. He had changed it several times, but she hadn't taken a single sip.

If this went on, how could her body stand it?

"Wait a moment. I'll be done soon." Freya didn't even look up and continued typing the email.

However, another hour passed, and Freya still hadn't finished her work until a maid came to deliver the meal.

After checking the safety of the food, Bradley walked over, grabbed Freya's phone, and casually threw it on the bedside.

Only then did Freya look up at the man and said a little aggrievedly, "I've finished editing. I just need to send it. Give me the phone back."

"No."

The man's tone was firm. He pulled her out of bed and made her sit at the table.

Freya looked at the table full of food but had no appetite. Her mind was still on her work. She looked at the man pitifully. "Honey~"

"Sweet-talking won't work. You're not allowed to touch the phone until you finish your meal."

The radiation from the phone was strong, and her eyes definitely couldn't stand looking at it for such a long time.

Moreover, she hadn't eaten or drunk anything, and he was worried about her.

Freya knew the man's temper. He always meant what he said.

So she picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Usually, it took her an hour to finish a meal, but this time she finished it in ten minutes.

Looking at the little woman gobbling up the food, Bradley let out a deep sigh. He knew that she wanted to mend the relationship between Gabriel and Xiaolan. After thinking about it, he decided to let her be.

After all, the more he tried to stop her, the more anxious she would become.

It would be better to let her finish her work and then take a good rest.

After tidying up the dishes and waiting for the maid to take them away, Bradley also contacted Blue Book to find out the situation in the Yelü Palace.

Because everyone in the palace was panicking, and Yelü Qi had restricted their movements, special maids delivered three meals a day. Everyone just rested in their rooms, and the farthest area they could move around in was the yard outside the room.

Bradley took his phone and went to the yard, leaving Freya with a quiet working environment.

...

In the medical room of the headquarters.

Xu Yan sat in front of the computer, concentrating on reading the email sent by Freya.

He couldn't help but admire her. She answered every question so carefully and accurately.

All the problems he had encountered were quickly solved after Freya's explanations.

His mind was like being enlightened. It had been at a standstill before, but now he knew how to continue.

"Thank you, Freya!"

Finally, Xu Yan typed out these words and ended this email communication.

When Xu Yan got up from his seat, he realized that Gabriel was standing at the door of the office. Apparently, he had been waiting for a long time and looked a bit impatient.

"Mr. Lu, when did you come?"

Xu Yan stretched and pushed up his glasses, asking.

"An hour ago."

Gabriel walked in and sat down on the sofa directly.

He had originally wanted to talk to Xu Yan just now, but the other person was so focused on his work that he didn't even notice when Gabriel got close.

Gabriel clearly saw that Xu Yan was discussing countermeasures with Freya regarding Xiaolan's condition, so he didn't interrupt and stepped back to the door and waited.

Who knew that he would wait for an hour.
